Ruto to President Uhuru: Please Don’t Help Raila to Defeat Me
Deputy President William Ruto has pleaded with President Kenyatta to stop campaigning for ODM leader Raila Odinga and let the two square off for the presidency.
Ruto, who spoke on Friday during a tour of Kenyatta’s Gatundu South home turf, urged the president to stand aside and allow him to deal with Odinga, who is giving his fifth stab at the presidency under the Azimio La Umoja movement.
While reminding Uhuru that he campaigned for him and helped him to ascend to power, Ruto appealed to the president not to use his influence to frustrate his State House bid and allow them to compete fairly.
“Hata kama amemua kwenda kusaidia mtu ya kitendawili, namuomba kwa unyenyekevu asitumie ile kisu nilisaidia yeye kupata kunikata miguu. Mwambie huyu Ruto unampangia ni yule muliombewa na yeye hapa Gatundu na hata hiyo maombi Mama Ngina alituombea,” Ruto told a rally at Mutomo area.
Ruto, who is running for the presidency on a UDA party ticket, vowed to mount a formidable campaign and win the upcoming presidential contest.
He also accused President Kenyatta of using and dumping for Odinga, whom he run against in the 2013 and 2017 presidential elections.
“Mwambie vile vile ni yule Ruto ambaye wakati hakuna mtu alikua ako tayari kumsaidia, ni huyo Ruto alisimama na yeye. Umuambie nimemuuliza, hata kama hataki kunisaidia aniwachie hii mzee ya kitendawili, mimi niko tayari kupambana na yeye,” Ruto added.
Uhuru endorsed Odinga, 77, as his preferred successor during the Azimio La Umoja convention at KICC in Nairobi last weekend.
“The next president of Kenya will be Raila Amollo Odinga. He has the ability and the willingness and God will enable him to see Kenya move forward while united, to fight corruption and to continue being a respected country across the world. I'm sure that once he takes over, he will not leave his brothers and sisters behind," said Uhuru.

Promises changed based on Ruto’s disrespect for Uhuru. He Ruto thought he could ascend to presidency without Uhuru but now he has come to realize that Uhuru has a bigger political muscle than Ruto does. There will never be a Ruto presidency in Kenya.

Ruto has now sensed defeat! Unfortunately he was not disciplined enough to work well with Uhuru so he could gain his support when his turn comes. Ruto will terribly lose come August 2022.

@ A. Onyango:
Kenya ina mataifa madogo (micro nations) zaidi ya arobaini (40). Tangu 1963, tumekuwa tukitawaliwa na mataifa mawili tu. Sasa, wakati umefika taifa jingine dogo litawale nchi ya Kenya.
Ni kweli Rais wa Kenya Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta) alimwahidi (promise) Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Samoei kutawala Kenya miaka kumi baada ya kumaliza utawala wake. Swali langu ni hili: Rais Kenyatta ni nani ili aamulie watu wa Kenya mtu atakayeitawaliwa Kenya baada ya kumaliza miaka yake 10? Kwani nchi ya Kenya ina mataifa mawili madogo tu ambayo yanastahili kutawala?
Usisahau ya kwamba, walipochukua utawala 2013, walisema ya kwamba wao ni marais sambamba (co-presidents). Kwa hiyo, wakati huu wote, walikuwa wakitawala sambamba.
Wakati sasa umefika, Ndugu Samoei afunge virago vyake na kurudi nyumbani. Tayari ameshamaliza miaka yake 10.

WSR a second tier politician has never mastered the game. Gideon Moi is a variable in this race, and it's unlikely to have a Ruto followed by a Moi presidency.

Cries of a cornered tiger. Who can beat you Ruto? You've been campaigning for 4 years now. Raila entered the race the other day. As such, what do you have to fear. Keep on dishing money and votes will come your way. But remember one thing; it is not about the count of the votes.

Raila does not need Uhuru’s support to defeat Ruto. Ruto carries too much baggage to be the president of Kenya.
A Ruto presidency will destroy the country with graft, corruption and embezzlement of public coffers. Ruto is thief number ONE in kenya, and he is surrounded by lots of UDAku thieves who have several corruption cases pending in court.

RUTO was just toying with UHURU.
I have said it before, he learned from professor MOI himself.
RUTO happens to know what cards to play.
Love him or hate him, he is smart politically.
